Riot police had been accused of adopting a hands-off approach when dealing with looters.But there was no chance of these officers, equipped with batons and shields, taking a softly-softly approach as they chased down and clobbered a group of suspected rioters.A police officer appears to kick one of the trio in the head and he is beaten five times with truncheons after the police chase him down. He is later seen getting to his feet.
